New season has officially start!

First Episode:

Superjail! is a TV series produced by Augenblick Studios. The series follows the events that take place in an unusual prison. The Pilot aired on on May 13th 2007, and its first season started on September 28th 2008. The show is characterized by its psychedelic shifts in setting and plot and extreme graphic violence. These are depicted through highly elaborate animated sequences, which have been described as "strange and complicated and hard to take in at a single viewing".

The majority of Superjail! is set inside the eponymous prison. Externally, Superjail is built inside a volcano which is itself located in a larger volcano. Internally, it seems to constitute its own reality, where the fabric of time and space is extremely fluid and changes at the whim of the Warden. Each episode begins with a linear story and builds up in both violence and psychedelia. Superjail's inmate population is stated by Jared to be in excess of 70,000, although the show's creators mention that the jail processes "billions of inmates".

Here's the pilot episode.

According to a Twitter announcement, Season 2 is now being produced and is expected to arrive in 2011.

Ha! I remember this show. My friend Steve used to talk to me about how he had "Superjail! Syndrome". Basically, every time he would come across and watch "Superjail!", he would always watch the same episode where the jail gets flooded when Warden makes Superbar. Once he told me I realized that I also had "Superjail! Syndrome" with the show "Scrubs", always seeing the episode of J.D. attempting to assist a terminally ill old woman who wishes to die.
